Women's World Day of Prayer

Informed Prayer, Prayerful Action

Women's World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women who come together to observe a common day of prayer held on the first Friday in March each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service. Through Women's World Day of Prayer women are encouraged to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of the wider community.

The Day of Prayer begins as dawn breaks over the islands of Tonga in the Pacific and continues across each continent until the last Services of this special day are held back in the Pacific on the islands of Samoa, circling the world in prayer for about 36 hours.

Why not make a note in YOUR diary as we would like YOU to join with us on the first Friday of March, with Christians from over 170 countries and islands, uniting together in praise, worship and in prayer. Women's World Day of Prayer includes Christian women from Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches.
